The report of the Strategic Director, People, informs Members of current Local Authority Governor vacancies within Cheshire East maintained schools.

The Local Authority School Governor Appointments Panel considered the report of the Strategic Director, People, which informed Members of current Local Authority School Governor vacancies within Cheshire East maintained schools and recommended individuals for appointment and re-appointment to identified posts.  Additional applications were tabled at the meeting and considered by the Panel.

 

The Panel noted that there were 359 LA Governor positions across Cheshire East’s 151 maintained schools (this took into account changes from 1^st September 2009).  Currently 62 (17.2%) of these positions were vacant.  The latest national benchmarking information (2008) shwed 10.8% of all LA Governor positions to be vacant and 11.1% of all Governor positions, of all categories, to be vacant, nationally.

 

In accordance with agreed procedures, nominations to these vacant positions had been invited from schools and from Local Members. Any individuals who had approached the School Governance Service directly, or via the School Governors One Stop Shop (SGOSS) had also been considered against appropriate vacancies. It was noted that priority had been given to nominations received from local Members.

 

In making the appointments, it was noted that the appointment to Sandbach Primary School (Item 15) had been requested to support the “Schools Causing Concern” programme.

 

RESOLVED:  (a) That the individuals identified in Items 1 – 24 inclusive be appointed as LA Governors, to vacant positions in Cheshire East schools for a 4-year term of office, commencing 25^th July 2009, with the exception of Miss M Ford (Item 16 - Rode Heath) whose appointment would commence 1^st September 2009 upon the end of term of office as a member of the Governing Body of the closing school, Church Lawton Primary); 

 

(b) That the individuals identified in Items 25 - 97 inclusive be re-appointed for a further 4-year term of office in their current school commencing from the day after their current term of office ends; 

 

(c) That an appointment in respect of Acton Church of England Primary School (Item 25) be deferred to the next meeting;

 

(d) That the new appointment in respect of Acton CE Primary School (Item 98) be approved; and

 

(e) That the individuals identified in Items 99 - 107 inclusive, be re-appointed for a 4-year term of office.
